In the current era of globalisation, national governments are
increasingly exposed to international influences which can present
many new constraints and opportunities for domestic environmental
policies. This comprehensive Handbook pushes the frontiers of
theoretical and empirical knowledge, and provides a
state-of-the-art examination of the critical effects of
globalisation on environmental governance. Following a
comprehensive introduction by the editors, the expert contributors
analyse key concepts and recent developments in themes such as
national regimes, types of environmental goods, trade rules and
environmental policies, eco-innovation policy, government-business
cooperation, the role of citizen-consumers in environmental
politics, and governance in developing countries. They also present
various societal perspectives, including the role of businesses and
non-governmental organisations. Eight original case studies address
global influences on domestic environmental policies and government
participation in international and supranational fora. The Handbook
concludes with innovative and challenging views on the future role
of national governments in global environmental governance.
Including contributions from leading authorities in academia,
government, and business, this comprehensive new Handbook provides
an insightful overview of the powerful effect of globalisation on
national environmental policy. The depth and scope of the work will
ensure a broad and varied readership, including academics,
students, and policymakers in the fields of governance,
environmental politics and law, international relations, and
political science.
'The Handbook of Globalisation and Environmental Policy is a very
important book. More than 40 experienced authors, including some of
the most important international thought leaders of our time, have
confronted a crucial question: How can and should national
governments come to grips with the need for global action on a wide
range of increasingly urgent environmental challenges that exceed
their authority and capability? Through close examination of
numerous case studies, a balanced perspective that takes
government, business and civil society into account, and fresh
interdisciplinary thinking about a range of policy tools, the
Handbook offers a treasure-trove of new concepts and new
perspectives. The authors conclude that by acknowledging the
ongoing erosion of national sovereignty and accepting the growing
need to work together in supranational forums, national governments
can, in fact, increase their capacity to shape their own destiny.'
- Lawrence Susskind, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US 'In
an increasingly interdependent world, global forces affect both the
design and effectiveness of environmental policy. This Handbook
provides an unusually creative and comprehensive guide, not only to
the nature of these forces and their impacts, but also to how a
better understanding of these forces can provide a foundation for
improving the effectiveness of environmental policy.' - Tom
Tietenberg, Colby College, US In the current era of globalization,
national governments are increasingly exposed to international
influences that present new constraints and opportunities for
domestic environmental policies. This comprehensive, revised
Handbook pushes the frontiers of theoretical and empirical
knowledge, and provides a state-of-the-art examination of the
multifaceted effects of globalization on environmental governance.
Including substantially revised as well as new contributions from
leading authorities, the Handbook offers an insightful overview of
recent developments at the intersection of globalization and
national environmental policy. It covers themes including national
regimes, trade rules, types of goods, federalism, innovation,
standards, citizen-consumers, developing countries, policy
networks, partnerships, and carbon trading. The Handbook's depth
and scope will appeal to a broad and varied readership, across
academics, students, and policy makers interested in public and
private governance, environmental economics, international
relations, environmental politics and law, sociology, and political
science. Contributors: T. Chagas, P. Conceicao, E. Dellas, D. Esty,
